If you want to know more about available support to help you grow your business online, most business support services are delivered locally, so in the first instance contact your local County Council’s Economic Development Unit.
If you are an agricultural, horticulture or farming business, Defra has a scheme providing subsidised training for up to 90,000 rural business people. This training covers a range of business and management skills, including IT. For more information about the scheme go to:

Broadband is being rolled out across rural areas over the next few years. To find out when broadband is coming to you, check this google map, which provides details of each county’s broadband unit. Each county is different, so the broadband team may not have all the information on support you seek, but they should be able to direct you to a helpful local source:
